Winner Workshop 9/23/09 Dallas

[Guest guest]

More often than not, how we “work and play with others†can have a huge

impact on our lives, and this is particularly true for people with autism and

related disabilities. From meeting and keeping friends, to interviewing and

holding a job, effective one-on-one communication is critical for success.

The Autism Society of Collin County, in cooperation with Whole Foods, the Rubin

Family Foundation, North Garland Vision and The Arc of Dallas, is excited to

sponsor a social skills seminar featuring Winner!

is an internationally recognized expert on effective social

interaction, and has trained school administrators, psychologists, parents, and

government policy makers on the importance of social thinking. In 2008 she won

a Congressional award as an innovator for using social learning as an effective

treatment program for students.

’s day-long seminar “Thinking About You, Thinking About Me†will

teach participants how our social minds work, and behaviors which affect other

people’s emotions and responses. By understanding the three levels of

social interaction and four steps to effective communication, participants will

learn how to create IEP goals and benchmarks for improvement.
